An outcry, packed with farcical cases of mistaken identity, catastrophic proposals, and a big wedding in Bollywood.

I find this novel one that really lets you know what goes on with society, as it was for Ayesha and Khalid, that was what all goes into the tradition of arranged marriages. We find the 'feisty, witty, and yes, bull-headed' Ayesha. We find her passionate about the field, with dreams of becoming a poet. After a misunderstanding of a nearby mosque, however, she will take on the identity of her cousin Hafsah just trying to help in that situation that presented quite a bit of drama.

Ayesha At Last is the modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice that I never knew I wanted. It's soft, funny, romantic, relatable. To be frank, Darcy who? Khalid is it all.

But I started to feel like I was watching a Bollywood drama where things get ridiculously insane as the story got further away from their interactions and further into the evolving family dramas. Yet I was unable to put it down. I wanted to do so, but I had to see what would happen next. So, I reluctantly liked it in the end, but it could have been better.
